Re: Missing Wingcommanders
Hans, I am no expert here...but I know of a case where four crew members washed onto beaches near the Dutch/Belgian border and the plane crashed of Rotterdam, so that would be a southern current. So it is not completely impossible, though makes the case a bit more interesting. Looking at the majority of bodies washed up, they did indeed go north!!!

Re: Missing Wingcommanders
Danny,
Hans is on holiday so I’ve taken the liberty to respond to your remark. Sometimes severe storms were more powerful than the currents and tides. Halifax BB324 is presumed to have crashed off Zandvoort, 2 casualties washed up at Zandvoort, but 1 and possibly 2 bodies washed up at Katwijk, roughly 40 km south. So there are indeed exceptions.
